Pakistan cricket officials are investigating local media reports that wicket-keeper Zulqarnain Haider has gone missing from the team hotel hours before their fifth and final one-day international against South Africa in Dubai.

Geo News reported that Haider did not travel with his teammates to the Dubai International Cricket Ground.

Pakistan manager Intikhab Alam said: "I can't comment on this right now, we are getting information."

"I can confirm he didn't come with the team to the ground."

The television report also showed an image claimed to be Haider’s Facebook page on which he wrote that he is "leaving Pakistan cricket because [he] got bad message from one man to lose the last game."
